On Friday May 21st my Mom passed away.  She closed her eyes and can now remember all that is dear to her.  She is finally at peace.

I do not know where to begin.  It has been a few years and I still can not describe who I am to this "disease" or where my family has gone because of it.  My loving Mother is the reason I am here and fear for my own future and that of my siblings is always at the back of my mind.  The effect of this on my mother is evident but  how many people know how deep and far the hurt goes? 

I hear such things as, "she happy",  "the family hurts more" and the list goes on.  But until you are personally touched with Alzheimer's you can not begin to understand.   I have learned to disregard those who have been fortunate enough to not have my experiences, but I will never understand the reaction of family.
